Happy Christmas

Last night was my last concert before Christmas, and I will be taking a few days off work. Clare is heading back to Newbury and Vickie has already gone up to Manchester. Nicole I think is on a ski slope somewhere in the South of France. (Alright for some) It has been a great year for us and we all feel we worked hard and gained some reward for that. We started the year with a recital in the Purcell Rooms as Park Lane Group Young Artists and did numerous recitals, outreach concerts and broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. The highlight for me would be playing at the Cheltenham Festival and working alongside the composers whose premieres we have given, but I am sure all the girls would have a different faveourite moment.

In 2008 we wil be playing at a few festivals including Newbury and Deal, and beginning several outreach projects including a longterm project in Pupil Referal Centres in the midlands. We have also recently begun to be represented by The Morris Agency who will be handling any commercial work we undertake. So if you would like to book us for any parties, conferences or weddings Daniel is the man to speak to.
We begin learning a whole new pad of music in January and some of it will get its first airing at the brass band extravaganza on the 20th. I won’t tell you too much about this concert now because Vickie loves talkng about Brass Bands and I have only ever done one contest so I am not very well educated on the subject.( I played with Coventry band when I was in my 2nd Year at college) I think I am goiung to know a whole lot more after the Butlins weekend though.

Have a great Christmas and a fantastic 2008.
